\nCredit where credit is due. I wouldn’t usually find myself recommending you to hot-foot it to your local supermarket to buy wine, but here are two good own label wines from Sainsbury’s that I really enjoyed. The regular prices are 25% more than what they are on the shelves for at the moment (the prices I have quoted), at which point they aren’t so highly recommended. [I hate the way that pricing of wine is so opaque, and I wish it could be more honest across the board.]<\/p>\n

\n<\/strong>From Les Coteaux du Pic, this is a blend of Syrah and Grenache that has the most lovely garrigue-like nose of olives, herbs and meat with some fresh plum and black cherry fruit, and a pepperiness that speaks of the northern Rhone. Supple, ripe and very drinkable with a real sense of place. This is why I like Pic St Loup so much. 89\/100 (\u00a37.49 Sainsbury’s)<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>From 50 year old vines, sourced from the talented J-C Mas, this is a powerful, vivid Chardonnay with notes of peach, pear and fig with fresh citrus notes too, as well as hazelnut and toast. Lots of flavour here, with some apricot on the finish, reminding me a bit of Viognier. 88\/100 (\u00a38.24 Sainsbury’s)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
